Download or read book Bio-Butanediol Production from Glucose - Cost Analysis - Butanediol E12A written by Intratec and published by Intratec Solutions. This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents a cost analysis of bio-based 1,4-Butanediol (BDO) production from glucose syrup. The process examined consists of two steps: a fermentation step for the production of succinic acid; and the hydrogenation of the succinic acid to produce Butanediol. Glucose-water syrup (70 wt%) is used as raw material. This report was developed based essentially on the following reference(s): (1) WO Patent 2009082050, issued to Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) in 2009 (2) US Patent 6008384, issued to DuPont in 1999 (assigned to Invista in 2007) Keywords: BDO, Dextrose, Glucose Fermentation, Butanedioic Acid, DuPont, Green Butanediol, Renewable Feedstock
